 to access audio and video on collective you need real player.Straight to the point. Anyone who caught one of Tunng's triumphant festival shows will be rubbing their hands at the thought of Good Arrows, and they're not wrong to do so. The band's trademark mixture of the antique and the modern remain in place, from dulcimers and plucked acoustic guitars to winding digital bass tones and Four Tet-ish electronic thwaps, but lyrically they just get better and better. While most folk folk rehash meetings with Old Nick and the miseries of the Enclosure Act, Tunng's songs tend towards more modern evils like Jeremy Kyle. Don't let the seductively pleasant drift of the tunes fool you: this is sharp, dark stuff. Tunng – Good Arrows, released 27 August on Full Time Hobby.

Caught Tunng at the Greenman festival at the weekend, definitely the highlight for me.
